"My grandparents are truly some of the most amazing people," the 25-year-old said. "They were 50-something when they decided to take me in and it never felt like it was a chore for them, like they just did it out of the kindness of their hearts."

"I'm so grateful to have them in my life," she added.

Cry also said she chose to surprise her grandparents at a French restaurant in their hometown of Jackson and chose Paris for their destination because her grandmother Anitra Cry has always been fascinated with the City of Light.

"She's always talked about wanting to go to Paris. One evening, I came home from school and my whole bedroom was decorated with Eiffel Tower and just Paris everything. So she has been on this for a while before I even came in the picture," Cry explained. "It just made sense for us. Why not go to Paris? And none of us have ever been to Europe, so it was just perfect."

The Cry family plan on embarking on their Paris adventure this April.

"Granny has been talking about it nonstop. My granddaddy is telling all of his friends, like everyone's really excited," she said.
